This + That: Bizarre Snacks


I don't always color coordinate my snacks, but when I do, you'd better believe I'll be reaching for Crunchy Cheetos and Odwalla Orange Juice. This post may go down as the weirdest edition of This + That ever! There may be other, more obvious, choices for This + That foods - milk and cookies, donuts and coffee, McD's fries and soft serve - wha, did I just say that??

Look, I eat Cheetos, maybe 3 or 4 times a year, mainly because my mom always buys them or I am in need of sustenance on the drive to/from Vegas. I actually like the puffy kind that gets stuck on your teeth, but as I said, my mom is the Cheetos purchaser in our family and she clearly prefers crunchy. For some reason, one day I paired Cheetos with OJ and it was a transcendent experience. The salty, fake cheesiness combined with sweet, tart orange juice was a great combination. I can see Flaming Hot Cheetos also pairing well with orange juice!

I also need to quickly mention my love for Odwalla orange juice. To me, it tastes fresher and less acidic than other orange juices. I remember reading a taste test where tasters felt Odwalla was sweeter than other brands. Maybe that's what I like about it. In any case, definitely give Odwalla a try. It can seem pricey if you are the type to chug gallons of juice in a week, but you can usually find it on sale at Safeway, sometimes a whole gallon for only $5!
